Off the back of three consecutive stalemates, NEC welcome Fortuna Sittard to the Goffertstadion on Saturday in matchday six of the 2022-23 Eredivisie campaign.

Meanwhile, the visitors make the journey to Nijmegen aiming to avoid a sixth straight defeat and breathe life into their league season.

We say: NEC 2-1 Fortuna Sittard

Given Fortuna Sittard's recent struggles, NEC will definitely fancy themselves to get the job done in front of their fans. We are tipping the home side to scrape a narrow victory come the end of the 90 minutes here.

We say: Ajax 4-0 Heerenveen

Ajax have dominated this fixture to a large degree, and it is hard to see that changing here. We are backing the home side to cruise to a comfortable victory at the sound of the full-time whistle.

Eredivisie newcomers SBV Excelsior welcome Emmen to the Van Donge & De Roo Stadion on Saturday aiming to avoid a fourth consecutive loss.

Meanwhile, the away side also head into this weekend's clash in need of a lift having suffered defeat in each of their last two matches.

We say: SBV Excelsior 0-1 Emmen

There is little to choose between the sides in this one, and Saturday's meeting could easily swing either way. That said, we are backing the visitors to just about see off the threat of their hosts and get the job done.
